• Afternoon Tea • West Philadelphia
Whether you come cute with your girls, make it a date with your mate, visit as a mommy-daughter duo or take time just for you, Akwaaba Tea Salon & Event Space offers 90 minutes of pure indulgence in a sophisticated sanctuary. Here’s where you can take a breath while you take a sip of fine, loose-leaf teas and experience a cultural spin on traditional English High Tea fare. Think deviled eggs with a chunk of Southern-fried chicken instead of egg salad finger sandwiches. And homemade peach cobbler and banana pudding upstage macaroons every time! Oh, and did we mention the live jazz music at our 1 pm Sunday seating?!Akwaaba Tea Salon and Event Space is the latest hospitality experience from Monique Greenwood, the former Essence magazine editor-in-chief who took the lodging industry by storm with the 1995 launch of her award-winning Akwaaba Bed & Breakfast Inns, one of which is in Philadelphia, right down the street from the new tea salon and event space.

    The jerk chicken Mac bowl and oxtail Mac bowl were 🔥🔥🔥🔥. The ambiance is nice but was hoping for a little more music and not necessarily a movie. The drinks were pricey and only tasted okay, lots of ice, small glass. Other than that, would definitely go back for the food!!!!

    Went out to an early Valentines dinner and it was delightful. Service was excellent. The owner even stopped by our table to chat and he is a really nice guy. Cocktails were delicious. The food was incredible. Started with the hummus and calamari. I had the lamb shank and she had the tuna. Definitely some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had and I can’t wait to go back.
